Those images have RPC. You can see RPC information with gdalinfo in the 
"RPC Metadata" section

listeo/geotiffcp and a number of utilities are not RPC aware. But 
gdalwarp is.

You can use gdalwarp to orthorectify them.  You should generally specify 
-to RPC_DEM=some_dem_with_elevation_as_ellipsoidal_heights or -to 
RPC_HEIGHT=ellipsoidal_height. See 
https://gdal.org/api/gdal_alg.html?highlight=rpc_dem
